Nightmares and sleep disturbances are gaining attention as targets of treatment interventions for trauma-exposed populations. Measures in trials evaluating these interventions tend to utilize proprietary measures of nightmare characteristics, which makes it challenging to compare findings across studies. The Trauma-Related Nightmare Survey is a questionnaire that was initially developed for utilization in efficacy studies of Exposure, Relaxation, and Rescripting Therapy. Preliminary examinations of the psychometric properties have demonstrated good test-retest reliability and convergent validity. The present brief report provides an updated examination of these properties and offers the first open publication of the measure for general use. Results support previous findings that the Trauma-Related Nightmare Survey demonstrates good test-retest reliability (r = .73) and moderate to strong convergent validity (rs = .44-.78) with other commonly utilized measures of sleep and mood symptoms.
噩梦和睡眠障碍正日益成为创伤暴露人群治疗干预的目标。评估这些干预措施的试验中的测量方法往往采用噩梦特征的专有测量方法，这使得跨研究比较结果具有挑战性。创伤相关噩梦调查问卷是一种最初为暴露、放松和重新编写疗法的疗效研究而开发的问卷。对其心理测量特性的初步检查已证明具有良好的重测信度和收敛效度。本简要报告提供了对这些特性的最新检查，并首次公开了该测量方法以供普遍使用。结果支持了先前的研究结果，即创伤相关噩梦调查问卷显示出良好的重测信度（r = 0.73）以及与其他常用的睡眠和情绪症状测量方法具有中度至高度的收敛效度（rs = 0.44 - 0.78）。
